Not to mention: written by someone who doesn't haven't a clue about what they are writing about.

I quote:

> ... although conventional batteries have a slower recharging time, the fact that they maintain their charging capacity over a longer period because makes Li-ion the more efficient choice over carbon-based supercapacitors.

Nope. That's not it.

That description is so bad it makes me wonder whether the author even looked up capacitors on Wikipedia or if they just paraphrased what they think they remember from high school physics.
